The Testimony of the Spirit

Reviews / Votes

Geivett and Moser have done ground-breaking work in editing this brilliant interdisciplinary work on a major theme in Christian tradition and experience. Contributors address the epistemology, meaning, and metaphysics involved in appealing to "the testimony of the Spirit," drawing on philosophy, theology, Biblical studies, and even cognitive science and neuroscience. This provides religious believers and skeptics, experts and newcomers, an array of original, engaging work. * Charles Taliaferro, Professor of Philosophy and Department Chair, St. Olaf College * Analytic theology - among the other methods deployed here - takes a pneumatological turn! The so-called hidden member of the Trinity is no longer shy, in particular being given witness to in this collection of well-written essays. Here is testimony about the Spirit that clarifies the very murky topics surrounding about how God works among, in, and through human creatures as well as exemplifies the kind of substantive development on the Third Article of the faith required for the truly and robustly trinitarian theology called for and sought after in our time. * Amos Yong, Professor of Theology & Mission, Fuller Theological Seminary, and author of Spirit of Love: A Trinitarian Theology of Grace * This volume not only fills in a crucial gap in the literature, it opens up a new network of issues to be taken up in philosophical theology and analytic theology. This is an outstanding set of interdisciplinary papers that should become essential reading for anyone interested in the testimony of the Holy Spirit and related topics. * William J. Abraham, Southern Methodist University *
